the sleep

The Sleep


The bedroom was dark, I closed my eyes
and it got darker still
waited for the moment when stepping
out of the day and into the sleep
I was in a black forest and could hear silence
up ahead I saw a glimmer of light
and thought someone was using an iPhone
As I walked towards the light
I didn't see the hole in the ground, and fell 
and fell into a stygian darkness that could
breaths like it was a being
and sensed the rush of wind
then it was morning, the window was open
the new breeze of the day entered
